With regard to cases embraced in the third fourth

expresses the op Mon that the establishment of trade
other induetnes by greater charge for the shorter

The other petitions for relel under the fourth
section Of the law number, the Commission says,
f1fty-fve. The temporary orders which have been
made in of Ihese petitions will IN like manner
be permitted remain in force until the expiration
of the time limited in each. No further order
will be made upon any of the petitions,
for although some two or three of the cases
may not by the facts rected in the application for
relief, be brought strictly within the principles
above discussed. yet they all present what are
claimed to be different circumstances and condI-
tons adequate to authorize exceptions TO the gen
eral rule and if the petitioners persuaded that
the fact is as they represent they should act under
the statute accordingly.
